EP 64 – Banner Health’s Ryan Koos On Why Indirect Spend Savings Can Land Faster Than In Med-Surg

Indirect spend sprawls from waste hauling to HVAC, Ryan Koos, SVP & Chief Supply Chain Officer at Banner Health, says you can’t hire 250 category managers to cover it. He sees savings there landing faster than in med-surg, because most of it is operational money with no patient on the table.

Ryan shows Eric how operators and biomed anchor that governance, why Banner is scoring close to 10,000 SKUs by criticality for a second consolidated service center, and why clean data must come before any AI investment.

Topics discussed:

– Governing indirect spend with operators and biomed at the table

– Building a SKU-level criticality score for continuity planning

– Expanding self-distribution through a second consolidated service center

– Turning an in-house GPO network into a revenue stream

– Earning supply chain a seat on five-year strategic planning

– Positioning supply chain as a steward of data for clinicians

– Cleaning EMR and ERP data before investing in AI

– Scoring key partners on their own supply chain transparency
